The Perfect Pie Crust

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter, and using a pastry cutter, or two forks (you may also use a food processor), cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal with pea-sized pieces.
2. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the crumbs start to form large clumps of dough.
3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface, and gather into a ball. Cut the dough in half, and shape each half into 1-inch thick discs. Wrap each disc tightly in clingfilm, and refrigerate for at least an hour (and up to 5 days). You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before use.
